Rank your country's commentary team

[Pup Clarke]

Ian Bishop is the most well-rounded host and commentator (Atherton is close). Such measured analysis delivered with impartiality. Also, very rarely gets flustered, a great voice for broadcasting and an intuitive mind to sense changing moments/passages of play - which he can convey wonderfully to the viewer.
Personally think he's the best since Benaud

Mention to Pommie Mbangwa and Jeremy Coney (where's he now?) also who also really enhance the watching experience

EDIT : Shaun Pollock is another guy who I find excellent. A slight criticism is he can be a tad monotone, but his analysis is usually spot on and has so many insights into fast bowling.

Ian Bishop went up in my estimation today. The nitwit on Sky Sports News asked him what the impact would be on cricket in this Country following the news that crowds could return in October. You could tell what he was thinking, but he refrained from any name calling.

Stuart broad has been very good on sky, anderson not so good on bbc

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I know breaking things down into gender is unethical these days, but the women on the BBC, Mitchell and Guha, are pretty good and Tufnell and Vaughan are idiots. Anderson is patchy.

 

[Tom Flint]

Tuffers is good, Vaughan isn't. I prefer the girl on sky, ebony to guha on the bbc. Broad definately has a long career in the media after his playing days

 

[honestbharani]

Anderson is patchy.

Good on him for sticking to the CW Meme.

Has he been challenged commentating away yet? It's easy to commentate at home...

Yeah Broad's quite alright, choice of clothing notwithstanding

Haha this triggered me as well.

Hope Hendrix swoops in your tell you why you’re all wrong

 

[Daemon]

He somehow came out looking worse than Ward who regularly wears a suit with baggy pants and trainers/sneakers

 

[Lillian Thomson]

For some reason I find Mark Butcher irrationally annoying. Not so much what he says, just his voice. I didn’t watch much of The Hundred so maybe you get used to him.

 

[morgieb]

Warne in England is usually OK. But here he's been as bad as he usually is in Australia.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

David Gower has been pretty good since appearing on BT Sport. I don't like Curtley. Finn sounds like Alex Stewart after too many machine washes.

 

[morgieb]

FMD the commentary for the Pakistan series has been grating as hell throughout the series.

 

[TheBrand]

Stephen Fleming and BMac have been good this summer. Much more insight.

Still can't stand Cumming and sometimes McMillan.

Hockley and Murdoch are awful. Katey Martin and Frankie McKay have been a welcome addition.

Also, I see we are going down the path of a specialist host with James Gemmell. Not sure how I feel about him yet.

Been pretty good. I've really enjoyed the mid over cross promotional opportunities that they've been shoving down our throats

I find how janky and over the top they are entertaining tbh. Cbf with cynicism.

Haha, yeah it's been a bit like that.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

The absence of Rob Key is great, but Atherton and Nasser need removing. Morgan sounds like the equivalent of a YouTube singer with no talent trying to make a name for themselves.
